What if the strength you build in your twenties shows up in your fifties? What if discipline in the gym quietly shapes success at work? In this episode of Intentionality, we sit down with Krishna Kumar Shetty, a former CEO of leading global automobile brands and a Masters powerlifter who began competing at 57. Krishna started training in his twenties and never stopped. Across decades of demanding leadership roles, global travel, and family responsibilities, he protected one non-negotiable habit: movement. That discipline didn’t just build a strong body, it built clarity, consistency, and excellence in his professional life. Today, he stands on powerlifting platforms, winning gold medals in the Masters category, proving that age is not a limitation when habits are built early and carried forward intentionally. This conversation explores: How to build discipline young and sustain it for life What a CEO’s day really looks like — and how fitness fits into it Why starting early allows you to peak later The role of family and environment in shaping lifelong fitness Why competing as a Masters athlete is about mastery, not medals Krishna Kumar Shetty’s story is a reminder that discipline doesn’t retire — and when you live with intent, every decade can be your prime. Listen in for a conversation on strength, leadership, and living life with purpose. 🎙️ Shot at MiddleOvers Studios — a professional podcast studio in Bangalore known for cozy creator-friendly spaces, cinematic setups, and top-tier audio-video equipment for podcasts, interviews, and long-form storytelling. 🌿 Sponsored by The Glampies — a premium glamping destination near Bangalore where luxury meets nature, adventure meets calm, and every stay is designed for meaningful escapes.

At 17, Laksh Jain signed up for an Ironman without knowing how to swim. He trained in his apartment pool using YouTube. Finished Ironman 70.3 Goa in 6:01. Came back two years later and clocked 5:19:55.

But this isn’t just a triathlon story.

It’s about a 20-year-old from Rajajinagar who walked away from cricket, skipped college lectures to train, sold his bike when he almost gave up—and still chose to return stronger. Today, he splits his time between racing Ironman events and building a performance socks brand, InSkinn.

This is a story about choosing discomfort over convenience. About showing up with no excuses. And about chasing something bigger than “just a degree.”

🎙️ In this episode of Intentionality, we talk about:

• The mindset of a young athlete and entrepreneur
• Why he almost quit triathlon—and what brought him back
• How he balances Ironman training with building a startup
• Why he refuses to live an average life

Whether you’re an athlete, student, founder, or someone still figuring life out—this episode will remind you of one thing: You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to start.

Harsha’s life is a testament to transformation — from a shy Mumbai schoolgirl to a teacher, yogi, healer, and Ironman finisher.

She started her journey early, teaching science and maths while still in college. But years of long corporate hours and incorrect gym training left her with severe back and neck pain — until yoga changed the direction of her life.

Through yoga, pranic healing, and sound therapy, Harsha not only healed herself but stepped into her purpose. Today, she helps women through fertility challenges, leads transformational retreats, and is the force behind Kolkata’s iconic YogaThon event.

At 39, she didn’t know how to swim or cycle. By 40, she crossed the finish line at Ironman 70.3 Goa — proving that age doesn’t define strength, intention does.

In this episode of The Intentionality Podcast, Harsha talks about: • Her early struggles — and the teacher who transformed her path • Finding yoga, energy healing, and purpose through pain • Training herself for Ironman 70.3 Goa from scratch • The mindset shifts that helped her rebuild her life • Practical advice on healing, discipline, and personal growth

Today, he’s a certified fitness coach who helps working professionals and parents lose fat without giving up rice, festivals, or life itself.

In this conversation, Vipin opens up about: -

Losing weight twice without shortcuts

-What “slim fat” really means — and why it’s dangerous

-Eating South Indian meals and still losing fat

-Coaching real people, not just gym rats
